“If Sharia law was applied in Algeria,” Hamadache wrote on Facebook, “the punishment would have been to kill [Daoud]” for his writings.

According to the Algerian TSA news service, Daoud plans to file a legal complaint. “I will file a complaint tomorrow morning, because this is a call for murder.”

According to TSA, Hamadache responded that “I did not say I was going to kill him and I have not called on Muslims to do so. We ask the Algerian authorities to apply “al Had” (the death sentence) and that is something of which we are proud!”
